How do you separate an image created in photoshop into seperate colors on seperate layers and then create a black version of each color so a silk screen printer can make a transparency from it? And How should you save the file so they can read it in illustrator or corell draw?
I have designed a T-shirt for someone using photoshop elements. I put each of 5 colors on a different layer, then copied each layer and selected for the color then filled the selection with black. My thinking was that in this way the t-shirt company could see the intended image and then print each color in black seperately so they could burn each screen. I have done this in the past. This time they said that in order to print from a photoshop file they would have to do additional work and something about tracing the type, or providing a ttif file to insure that the correct type face is used. I don't understand why this would be a problem. But to try to fix the problem from my end I would like to provide them with a file that they can use. However I can not figure out how to produce a color seperated image using inkscape and the next problem I will face is how to save it so thy can open and read and use the file in adobe "illustrator 10 or less". Any help out there?
